She did say that the kid will be marrying the father but I don't care. I'll say this illustrates that Palin's views on only teaching abstinence in schools is completely misguided. Why do pro-lifers think pro-choice people like abortion? I hate the idea of abortion and I think using it as birth control is abhorant. But, if I was raped I'd use the morning after bill (which I believe pro-lifers think is abortion) without a second thought. And I'd never, never, never imply that someone who was pregnant with a Down Syndrome child should get an abortion. The Governor and pro-life advocates want to make her a martyr for having the kid, as if it shows how dedicated she is to the cause. It implies that the kid is some kind of burden to her that she bears because she's dedicated to the cause. How awful. These special needs children bring a lot of love into the world and treating the child as a burden and political tool is disgusting.
As for Bristol. Maybe she's five months pregnant, maybe she's not. We'll only know if the baby is carried to term and delivered healthy.
